Titrando – the flagship of titration

The 906/907 can perform SET, MET, DET, KFT and STAT

titrations, as well as Ion Concentration Measurement.

A sophisticated control algorithm, combined with the

increased volume resolution of the Intelligent Exchange Units,

guarantees highly precise results.

Touch control or mouse click?

Whether you operate the Titrando with touch control or via

PC and mouse, appearance and operation are practically

identical. The system’s operator guidance is exemplary.

Intelligent dosing

The Titrando automatically reads from its chip all the data

(type of reagent, titre, last titre determination and much

more) that it needs to carry out the titration properly.

TITRATION AT ITS BESTIntuitive, intelligent, sophisticated

856 Conductivity Module High-end conductivity meter

Designed to connect with the latest, most

modern 5-ring cells, the 856 Conductivity

Module provides for a high linearity without

platinisation of the cell. This guarantees

highest precision, and the cell constant, once

determined, remains unchanged over a wide

measuring range. The 5-ring electrode can

be immersed completely into the beaker. So

beakers with different filling heights are no

problem and in stirred solutions a rapid mixing

within the cell can occur. Last but not least, the

cell is easy to clean owing to its removable cap.

THE WHOLE WORLD OF ION CHROMATOGRAPHYCompact intelligence for ion chromatography

UV-Vis detectionThe 887 Professional UV-Vis Detector enables reliable and

accurate quantification of substances that absorb light in the

ultraviolet or visible range.

Broad area of use

The flow path of Metrohm’s IC instruments is completely

metal-free. Thus, not only the standard anions and cations,

but also transition metal ions and various organic substances

can be detected without any problem. Even in complex

matrices, e.g. biological samples, good detection limits can be

achieved on the basis of the specific absorption properties of

many analytes.

Amperometric detectionThe 896 Amperometric Detector is designed for direct

current (DC), amperometric (PAD), highly flexible

integrated pulsed amperometric (flexIPAD)

or cyclic voltammetry (CV) modes.

Typical applications include the determination of inorganic

anions, such as cyanide, sulphide, nitrite, sulphite or iodide;

carbohydrates, such as mono-, di- and polysaccharides,

amino-sugars, sugar alcohols and sugar acids; and

organic compounds, such as phenols or vitamins.

Metrohm ion chromatography

For over 25 years Metrohm has provided

optimal solutions in ion chromatography

thanks to its innovative and creative approach.

Built-in intelligence

The 850 Professional IC is the first professional

ion chromatography system with intelligent

system components.

The 850 Professional IC guarantees excellent

results, gapless system monitoring, complete

traceability of all actions and the simple

operation of even complex procedures.

Chemical and sequential suppressionIon chromatographic analysis uses chemical and sequential

suppression to reduce background conductivity and increase

sensitivity. Chemical suppression improves the sensitivity

by a factor of 2 to 5.

Sequential suppression combines chemical suppression with

Metrohm CO2 Suppression (MCS). Carbonate and CO2 are

SEPARATION COLUMNSSurpassing standards

The first intelligent ion chromatography column generation in the world Insert and start

When a Metrosep separation column is used in different

This results in complete traceability and GLP surveillance for

greatly facilitates system validation.

Meeting global standards in IC is now easy.

Metrohm columns are built and developed to meet compliance

are being developed.

Comparison of chemical (black) and sequential suppression (red)

sequential suppression improves detection limits and produces

a remarkably smaller injection peak, which in turn improves the

determination of the fast-eluting ions such as fluoride.

TRACE ANALYSIS WITH VOLTAMMETRYThe versatile all-rounder for research, teaching and industry

Oxidative stability of fats and oilsThe determination of the oxidation stability of edible oils and

fats is the classical application for the 743 Rancimat. The

“induction time” that is measured characterises the resistance of

oils and fats to oxidation. The term Oil Stability Index (OSI) is also

commonly used.

The Rancimat method is incorporated in standards such as AOCS

Cd 12b-92 and ISO 6886. This technique replaces the previous,

complicated Active Oxygen Method.

Oxidation stability of edible oils at different

temperatures

The 743 Rancimat has an induction time vs temperature

extrapolation feature. This allows an estimation to be made of

the shelf-life of the oil or fat at various storage temperatures.

Oxidation stability is also an important quality criterion for

biodiesel and is required to be measured for blended fuels

containing biodiesel. With the Rancimat this determination can

be carried out simply and automatically.

797 VA ComputraceAnalysis of heavy metals: total concentration…

For specific applications where the cost of AAS or

ICP is prohibitive, voltammetry can accomplish metal

analysis with equivalent or even higher sensitivities.

Only small quantities of reagents and pure pure

nitrogen are required.

…and speciation!

With voltammetry it is also possible to differentiate

between varying oxidation states of metal ions,

or between free and bound metal species. This

information can be used to assess biological availability

and toxicity of heavy metals, making voltammetry

an essential technique in environmental analysis.

High ion concentrations? No problem with VA!

Voltammetry is ideally suited for the analysis of:

• Water,wastewaterandseawater

• Saltsandpurechemicals

• Electroplatingbaths

• Foodstuffs

Cyclic Voltammetry Stripping (CVS)

Cyclic Voltammetry Stripping is

the most popular electrochemi-

cal technique for determining

the concentrations of organic

additives in electroplating

baths.

MONITOR FOR AEROSOLS AND GASES IN AMBIENT AIREnvironmental surveillance

MARGA for autonomous operationWith MARGA, gas and aerosol composition of ambient air can be

measured simultaneously and continuously.

The whole MARGA system runs autonomously, generating

aerosol and gas concentrations every hour, only requiring user

intervention once per week to supply new solutions.

The sensitivity of the ion chromatographs is sufficient to reach

detectionlimitsbelow0.1μg/m3 with an air sampling flow-rate

of 1 m3/h.

The MARGA is available with 1 or 2 sample boxes, the latter

allowing simultaneous sampling of two different aerosol sizes,

for example PM 2.5 and PM 10.

contrAA® - unique multi-element analysis with flame, hydride and graphite furnace technology, using just one light source

The contrAA® series exceeds the performance of

conventional AA spectrometers in all parameters.

This new technology, High-Resolution Continuum Source

AAS (HR-CS AAS), represents previously unattained

effectiveness and quality of measurement results.

Following decades of experience in the development of

spectrometers and graphite furnaces in cooperation with

partners from leading research institutes, a vision has

become reality with the contrAA® series, which finally closes

the gap between ICP OES and AAS.
